I want to change the h2/h1 tag displayed for categories, but if I change the name of the category it will change on the page and under menus. Ideally I would like to have a different menu name to the h1/h2 tag displayed on the page with the category description.
So I can have a menu structure of “Blankets → Knitted”, but the h1/h2 tag comes up with “Knitted”. Ideally I want to change the h1/h2 tag to “Knitted Blankets” and keep the menu link to just “knitted” (as it is already a sub category).
Sooo… if I use a hook to override the view, I've found I can display the current category name with {$category_data.category} and I can find the parent id with {$category_data.parent_id} but how do I fetch the name of the parent category.
Alternatively, if there is a mod out there to allow for different menu and h1/h2 tag names that would be great!
Thanks in advance!

Great! That worked!
Though, I would like more control over the generated h1/h2 tag. I figured I might pull the image ALT description and place it into the h1/h2 tag instead.
Any idea how to get the image ALT description? Thanks again!!!
Figured it out. FYI for anybody else, it was:
{$category_data.main_pair.detailed.alt}
I’ve tried to do something like this where I am creating a smarty/html sidebox, in that sidebox I want it to dynamically add the category name so I have the following:
{nocache}{$category_data.parent_id|fn_get_category_name} items
Our {$category_data.parent_id|fn_get_category_name} items Include:
great item 1, great item 2,… blah blah blah…{/nocache}
This works the first time I load a category (having cleared the cache) and then it just uses that same category name where ever I go on the site… I am pretty sure it’s being cached so I tried the {nocache} tags as in the code above but nothing I try seems to be able to get the current category no matter how many pages I move through on the site.
Anyone able to help?
TIA

In your case it is required to disable cache for html blocks with smarty support in the blocks schema (app/schemas/blocks_manager/blocks.php)
eComLabs you sir are a great help thanks 
All sorted now.
You are welcome! :)
